It's a nice house in a nice looking neighborhood. The houses on the block show pride of ownership.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

The lead was found by an aspiring investor who is looking for a break and found this property through word of mouth. The seller had two previous offers that never followed through. I asked what the offers were, and I went lower, and got my offer accepted.

The only money I injected was $100 deposit. it's under contract and I'm wholesaling it.

There was no value added to the property.
